have you heard how a long time ago
two tots whose name no one knows
were stolen away on a bright summer’s day
and left in the woods
is what people say
at night so sad was their plight
when the sun went down and the moon gave no light
they sobbed and they sighed and they bitterly cried
then the poor little babes
they laid down and died
once dead the robin’s red brought strawberry leaves
and over them spread
and all night long the branches among
they mourned as they whistled
and this was their song
supported by 166 fans who also own “Babes in the Woods”
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
